What’s Up gives local young people a role
ACTV describes What's Up as a magazine made by young people for young people. One actual edition welcomes the Maison des Jeunes de Soignies into the program's team.
That is a more particular relationship than a program merely choosing young people as its subject. A local youth organization is identified within the making and presentation of the magazine. It connects the regional area named in the broadcaster's profile with a group participating in its output.
Roulez Tambours follows more than one carnival
Roulez Tambours puts the region's carnival traditions in the spotlight. Its 2026 collection names Binche, Morlanwelz, Haine-Saint-Pierre and other communities, giving the magazine a broader scope than a single town's celebration.
Binche has a particularly documented cultural context. UNESCO describes its carnival through community preparation, costume-making, music and the Gilles who appear at its culmination. The tradition was placed on the Representative List in 2008, following its earlier 2003 proclamation.
That recognition belongs to the Binche tradition. It does not turn every carnival featured by ACTV into the same event or give the television magazine a UNESCO designation. The town name remains a useful identifier because neighboring celebrations have their own local setting.
A signed interview is separately identified
L'Invité en langue des signes is ACTV's named sign-language presentation of its Sunday interview. The official collection lists editions from October and November 2026 separately from the other programs.
The full title therefore carries meaningful information about that edition's presentation. It should not be shortened to a general claim that all ACTV output has identical accessibility features.
Together, a youth magazine, a regional carnival collection and a signed interview show several kinds of local connection: participation, cultural memory and a distinct way to present a conversation. Each belongs within Antenne Centre's regional identity while serving its own audience interest.
Useful answers
Does Roulez Tambours only cover the Carnival of Binche?
No. Its 2026 collection also names other regional communities, including Morlanwelz and Haine-Saint-Pierre. Binche is one specific tradition within that broader coverage.
Does L’Invité en langue des signes describe every ACTV program?
No. It is the full title of a separately identified sign-language interview edition. Other programs need their own presentation information.
